Flashing Again!

Here are two more versions of Friday Flash Fiction 55. First, from my daughter, who took the OT boards this past summer, under somewhat trying circumstances.

“Boards”

Excitement and
nervousness are caused by the same chemicals in your brain—yet—feel vitally
different she thought as she paced the carpet. She dug her bare toes into the
grey pile of the carpet. She tugged at leather band of her wrist watch. The phone
rang.

“Hello?”

“Congratulations, you
passed the test.”

And now mine, inspired by things that I saw at the site of the Columbia Hotel fire this past week.

"Columbia"

Bricks sit on a blue car and toppled beams point
skyward. Icicles drip from a window where ornaments on a Christmas tree glow in
the sun.The wind shakes the blackened
rafters, and a photograph of a young boy lands at my feet. Is it his tree?Santa Claus, look for this boy somewhere
else.

Congratulations to daughter! (although I'm sorry if I missed the news first time around ... although it was fun to read it this way!) And wow, very touching is "Columbia" ...did you take the photo ... wow!
